“Not Good on the Heart”: Training at Almost 50 Haunts Bodybuilding Icon Jay Cutler, As He Weighs In on a Critical Subject Surrounding Health

In recent times, there has been an increasing focus on the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle among older people. Even retired bodybuilders emphasize eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and getting enough sleep. However, for them, some additional considerations should be taken into account. And the veteran bodybuilder Jay Cutler, who is inching closer to his 50s, has recently opened up about a similar factor affecting the lifestyle of many senior professionals.

The four-time Mr. Olympia champion recently made headlines as he shed light on one of the most crucial aspects of achieving a healthy lifestyle.

Jay Cutler emphasizes the importance of maintaining weight

One of the biggest challenges for bodybuilders in later life is maintaining a healthy weight. In a recent video on his YouTube channel, four-time Mr. Olympia Jay Cutler discussed the importance of maintaining a healthy weight in later life. According to the legendary bodybuilder, as people age, their metabolism slows down, which means they burn fewer calories.

He emphasized that this can make it difficult to keep the weight off, especially if they are still following the same training and diet routines they used to when they were younger. “As you get older, we have to be more conscious about how much we drag around it’s not good on the heart and everything else,” he said in the video. He pointed out that many veteran bodybuilders still carry a lot of excess weight, which can be harmful to their health. He stressed that it is critical to be mindful of your weight as you age and to make adjustments to your training and diet accordingly.

Cuter expressed his disappointment over the progress

As Cutler nears his milestone 50th birthday, he recently opened up about his disappointment in not achieving the physicality he had envisioned for himself at this stage of his life. In a candid YouTube video, Cutler shared his journey, discussing the impact of a back injury that disrupted his plans during the last six months leading up to his birthday.

Cutler said he had set ambitious goals for himself, aiming to showcase his physical prowess and maintain his iconic physique. However, an unexpected setback emerged in the form of a debilitating back injury, impeding his progress and forcing him to reassess his aspirations. “Not happy with the progress I’ll be honest. I expected maybe a little more but I forgot about how important do you know following nutrition was,” he said. However, it would be interesting to see how the four-time Mr. Olympia would have to show on his birthday.
